Seniors welcome execs, host events Team posts 18-0 record Additional parking (continued from page 7) The plan calls for the removal of 18 trees with the addition of five trees, which does not meet the request of the environmental commission to replace all the trees being removed. But Richard Walsh, a member of the commission, pointed out to the board that the township’s ordinance states that one tree should be replaced for every four being removed when a structure is being built, which is not the case with this application. Kelly said he felt the one for four replacement ratio is correct for a parking lot. Kelly also pointed out that the township calls for one parking space for every 2.5 seats in a restaurant, so this restaurant could have 225 seats. Kirch explained that it is not possible to put that many seats in the restaurant, and his The Saint Paul’s fourth grade boys’ CYO basketball team from Ramsey recently completed an undefeated 18-0 season by winning the Northern Valley Parochial School League championship, defeating Saint John’s of Hillsdale in the championship game.

Board member Charles Jandris expressed the opinion that there were too many entrances and exits on the plan, but Kirch countered that the driveway being added is 175 feet away from the existing driveways, and that is no worse than the condition that now exists. Kirch also told the board the landscaping plan for the site is more than sufficient. However, the board added a condition to the approval that addition of the trees on the site would be verified as would the sight triangles at the driveways. The addition of a bench on the sidewalk along Franklin Turnpike was also made a condition of approval.
